V33 now using search suggestions in integrated home page

Firefox updated itself to v33 last night and now the integrated home page with the Google entry box is no longer using autocomplete, but instead is using search suggestions. I do not want to use search suggestions, or else I would set Google as my home page.
How do I revert this to the prior behavior with autocomplete?

I suspect that my be related to the new "faster and snappier searches" feature in Firefox 33.

''Yes, the example provided there is totally different then what you are talking about, but ...''
See if '''Show search suggestions''' in the Search Bar > Manage Search Engines... List is check-marked. With the massive number of consolidation steps that Firefox has seen over the past 5 or 6 versions to "search" functionality, that pref just may also be controlling what you are seeing on the default Homepage.

How can I put Google Search on my default home page?

When I was using 3.6 because of the add-ons available that are not on 6 my beginning page always started with Google Search. Now that I've upgraded to 6.02 all I get is a blank page at startup! And I cannot seem to change that in the "Tools/General/Home page site!!!

What is the startup setting?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"
Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it that is used when the home page setting is blank. 
You can set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Since installing the latest FF version 14.0.1 the search boxes on the home page don't work with google

The normal google page works fine, but the search boxes on the home page (below firefox logo and the one top RH corner) just go nowhere unless you change the search provider using the dropdown, to yahoo or bing etc, in whcih case it searches fine - just won't work with google, which I prefer to use. I have an older version 3.6.13 on another desktop and that still works fine.
Any ideas team?

golden-grace, to answer some of your questions:
* Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and will no longer be updated for security vulnerabilities or any other updates.
*On resetting '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''': It's normal for the "welcome to Firefox" tab to open and for that preference to revert back to user-set and show Firefox 14.0.1 afterwards.
*On deleting the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and then resetting that preference again: You can open the Profile folder from the Firefox Help -> Troubleshooting Information page. See the [[Profiles]] article for more information.
* On installing new search engines from http://mycroft.mozdev.org that simply adds new search providers to the [[Search Bar|Search Bar]]. It does not install a new search bar. You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.
Getting back to Google not working from the about:home homepage or from the upper right corner search box, you said,
''the page tab changes to "connecting" and the little circle starts revolving, just as though it is looking for the page as normal and at the bottom of the home page the message appears "waiting for www.google.com"''. You also said in your original post that, ''The normal google page works fine.'' Which normal google page is that?
If you can go to www.google.com directly, and it works fine:
I would try removing Google from the list of search providers and then use the "Restore Defaults" button in the Search Bar "Manage Search Engine List" dialog to add it back to the list, then select it again as your default. The [[Search Bar|Search Bar]] article explains in detail how to do that. (Alternately, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] add-on. This should also add back Google and set it as the default.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, that's a whole other issue. Putting that aside for now, if you would rather use google.co.uk from the Search Bar, you can install it as an additional choice from the Search Bar drop-down menu, by going here:
* http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html ... where it's listed as '''''Google UK - the Web (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project'''''. (You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, you could troubleshoot that by following the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article (I would start with clearing cookies and cache) but all of these steps may be frustrating for you. Another option is to simply reset Firefox (which saves your bookmarks, passwords, and some other essential data) to see if that resolves the problem. You can do that from the Firefox Help -> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/provide-detailed-information-for-firfox-issues#w_accessing-the-troubleshooting-information-page Troubleshooting Information page]. For details, read the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article. You can then go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html and select your preferred Google search engine to use from the Search Bar.

Whenever I try to use Firefox, an unwanted Facebook home page apprars.

Whenever I try to use Firefox, an unwanted Facebook home page appears. I have removed all Firefox and Facebook files and and then downloaded Firefox again, but the Facebook page continues to appear whenever I click on Firefox. What can I do?

This [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/900550 help thread] on the same issue (i.e. Home Page Setup) should help you resolve it.

I can't get Google (word & icon) to load in the search bar on my home page. How can I fix this?

Starting a few weeks ago every time I load my home page in Firefox (v20) the search bar, next to the right side of the address bar, comes up what I call blank. It's just a small blank sheet of paper with the upper corner turned down. What should be in that search box is the icon and word "Google". When the icon and the word Google doesn't load I can't type any web address in the address bar and change to that web site. Also, when I bring down the menu of previous web addresses from the address bar and click (highlight) one of them nothing happens either. I have tried about everything I can find on this or that I can think of and so far nothing has worked. Once in a while I might get the Google icon & word to come up like it's supposed to in the search bar but it won't stay. It might last the rest of a given evening but the next time I bring up my home page it's gone. I really NEED help on this.
Thanks for any help or suggestions for this problem.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Firefox 4.01. I wish to have "Mozila Firefox S tart Page" as Start Page. I have used "How to set the home page" (tools, options, general, restory to default) but no result.

# Numbered list item

The part you are probably missing is
When Firefox starts: "Start my Home page" (in the dropdown)
the installed default home page is about:home in Firefox 4, but simply choose the "Restore to Default",
then click on the "OK".
see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help]
If that is not working then try instructions , and following the instructions suggest taking a picture of your toolbars first, so that you will be able to recustomize your toolbars afterwards, see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf Corrupt localstore.rdf - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
After resetting, continue with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization Toolbar customization - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] and if you used small icons -- don't forget the checkmark for that in the dialog.

Site Published, Now How Do We Make Our Home Page Into An E-Mail Message

First a testimonial on why I nominate James Tseng for president.
After months of flawless publishing, I encountered a publishing error. James Tseng instructs moving the domain file into the trash (but not emptying it) and republishing. Voila! Back to flawless performance and peace of mind.
My iWebsite is published, PiNEcalendars.com.
Now like all iWeb designers, the aim is To Get The Word Out announcing our website. The Next Technical Challenge is: How do we send an E-mail of our iWeb Home Page.html? Corporate advertisers are using E-mail ads, how do we send a snapshot of our Home Page as an E-mail?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I have tried doing this several times, and can see all the graphics if I mail the page to myself. But, if I mail the page to a PC user they can't see the graphics.
I was told to change the code to have the image source point to the folder on iDisk where the page resides, but that was not 100% reliable.
Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks!

New tabs open at babylon search instead of my home page can you help me to abolish babylon?

http://search.babylon.com/?babsrc=NT_bb
I do not want that.
I want this:
http://www.google.com/ig
each time open a new tab.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/

Is it possible to open/start a slideshow using a button on the home page?

Hi all. I want a slideshow on the home page of my graphic design website, but ideally I want it to pop up 'in place' when a button is pressed (these buttons are for things like 'illustration', 'print design', 'logo design' etc, with each slideshow being a portfolio of images. Is this possible to do? So instead of the buttons each linking to their own page, they link to a slideshow that pops up on screen?
Let me know if you require further info.

Yes you can design this.
Use any composition , trigger can be used as button which would open container on click. In container insert slideshow with images.
The images used can be linked to their specific pages.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Using Google news as a home page, cannot stay logged in to Google. FF22.0 &Google

I am using FF 22.0 and Google News as a home page. Every time access my home page, I have to re-login to Google News in order to retain my settings. Is this a FF issue or a Google issue. This also means that i cannot remain logged in to Goog news after visiting another website and returning to my home page. This USEDto work with prior versions of FF, but not 22. Not a big deal, but really annoying.
Any assistance is appreciated

Are you allowing that site to set cookies? Have you checked your settings in Options > Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings to make sure that your cookies are not being deleted?

Firefox homepage changed. Lost Icons for Gmail, YouTube, etc that use to appear on the home page. How do I get them to appear back on the Firefox homepage?

A week ago, my Firefox homepage changed and I've lost the ability to have Gmail, YouTube, etc appear at the left top of the homepage. I tried to reset by going to settings and set the default but still can not figure out how to get Gmail, YouTube, etc to appear on the homepage.
Thank you,

Is your home page now https://www.google.com/ ?
If you are missing the traditional "black bar" at the top of the page, that has been replaced with an application button on the right side that looks like a grid of small squares. Some creative developers have posted add-ons to restore the old bar. I haven't tried these myself:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/proper-menubar/ Proper Menubar]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/you-google-bar/ +You Google Bar] - reviews indicate some problems

My recent emails used to show on my home page, "my msn". With Firefox 4, they disappeared and I can't see how to get them back.

On my home page there is a heading-Hotmail. Under that the last 8 or so emails were listed. The heading remains, the emails are gone and the+ in a box is now a -. So I can't add the emails.
Firefox 4 has made things faster, but it's taken away stuff too

Hi krjc,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
Hopefully this helps!
